thisnameistaken Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I managed 2:30 this time, which is a PB for me and YouTube videos of bass solos. But only because I couldn't quite believe that what I was watching was real. I've already filed him under talented people I'm jealous of.

Bassassin Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 I like the sparkly bass. Unsure about all the pockatapockataboinkityboinkitypockatapockataboinkityboinkity stuff though. Heard a [i]lot[/i] of that since 1983. Jon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] With half the talent, yes! This guy is a great player. I like the video on youtube where he shows you some of his bass collection. I'm sure it includes Warwick, Kubicki, Spector etc etc...very good taste! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I don't think they'll be necessary! I've not seen half the fanboy-ism for Les now that there was 10 or even 5 years ago! He is a talented bassist and very creative aswell, but the Casiopea players are fusion heavyweights, a field I just don't think Les has the talent to play in!

thisnameistaken Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Claypool would smoke those cheesy fusion chumps any day of the week and look cool doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theosd Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 This guy shows about as much reckless abandon as [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=69204&hl=shy+retiring"]our man here[/url]! Bizarre set-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
